Both clubs come into the match with modest scoring records – Motor 0.7 xG at home and Legia 1.0 xG away – suggesting a tight encounter in Lublin.

Lars's Verdict

Strong
Under 2.5 goals Lost Strong lean Strong · Defensive balance

The model assigns a 75.7% chance the match will produce fewer than three goals, matching the teams’ defensive strengths and limited attacking output.

Show the maths
Motor Lublin’s home xG of 0.7 and Legia’s away xG of 1.0 combine for an expected total of 1.7 goals. The model translates this modest total into a 75.7% probability for under 2.5 goals. The top scorelines – 0‑0 (18.3%) and 0‑1 (18.3%) – further evidence a low‑scoring pattern, reinforcing the Under 2.5 selection.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — No (one side kept off the scoresheet) Lost 68.2% model probability

With Motor Lublin averaging 0.7 expected goals and Legia Warszawa averaging 1.0, the model gives a 68.2% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 31.8% it gives to both teams scoring.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Motor Lublin 0.7, Legia Warszawa 1.0) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 31.8% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 68.2% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Under 2.5 Goals Lost 75.7% model probability

Combined expected goals of 1.7 (Motor Lublin 0.7 + Legia Warszawa 1.0) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 75.7% chance against 24.3% for Over.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Motor Lublin 0.7 + Legia Warszawa 1.0 = 1.7 combined): 24.3% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 75.7% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Motor Lublin at 24.9%, the draw at 33.5%, and Legia Warszawa at 41.6% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 0-0 at 18.3% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5

Motor Lublin

LLWDL

Motor Lublin’s last five league results read LLWDL, with a 1‑0 home win over GKS Katowice showing they can keep a clean sheet, but a 0‑2 home loss to Piast Gliwice and earlier defeats 1‑2 to Jagiellonia and 1‑3 to Pogon Szczecin underline a tendency to concede. This mix of a solitary win and multiple losses points to a limited goal threat, supporting a low‑scoring match.

Legia Warszawa

WDWDD

Legia Warszawa’s recent run WDWDD includes a 5‑0 home victory over Radomiak Radom, yet on the road they have drawn 1‑1 with Piast Gliwice and 1‑1 with Slask Wroclaw, indicating they rarely score more than one away goal. Their away form thus aligns with the model’s low over‑2.5 probability.

Head-to-Head

The latest head‑to‑head meeting was a 4‑0 Legia win on 23 May 2026, while earlier fixtures produced a 1‑1 draw and a 3‑3 thriller, suggesting that while Legia can dominate, matches often stay under three goals overall.
